At Caton House the team, many of whom have been with the home for over a decade, are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents. They provide an exceptionally high standard of care and create so many wonderful activities and experiences for their residents.
Providing residential, dementia, nursing, palliative care, the team also provide respite care breaks which can be booked in advance, ideal for carers who would like to plan a short break themselves. There is also a day centre (£27.47 for a half day/£54.94 for a full day).
The home has its own choir, with the residents pulling out all the stops for big occasions like Christmas. And musicians, singers and dancers from the local community often come and perform for the residents.
There are so many animal visits, including regular therapy dog whom the residents adore. There are also gentle exercise sessions, a knitting club, baking, games and quizzes galore.
The community are embraced into life at Caton House, from volunteers who join in with activities and spend time chatting with the residents, to local school children who treat them to sneak previews of special performances, and a local church group who do a monthly service in the home.
Every week a mobile hairdresser visits for appointments in the home’s salon, and there are regular pamper sessions, with manicures. Every week there is a sensory afternoon, with relaxing music, mood lighting and activities to stimulate the senses like hand massages.
This summer the residents have loved growing their own produce in the home’s enclosed gardens, from carrots and tomatoes to peppers and herbs. And they have proudly harvested the produce for the chef to use in the kitchen, which has given them such a sense of achievement.
In the dining room, residents enjoy delicious home-cooked cuisine, from roast dinners with all the trimmings, fish and chip Fridays and home-baking.

Mum has been a resident for 13 months now. She settled in quickly, the team here are kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble. The leadership team are visible and available, one staff member in particular is a joy and another very supportive and kind. It seems wrong to single them out as all are great!

My mother has recently lost some of her mobility and it would seem she is not receiving the same level of care and support as previously. I am also finding it more difficult and more expensive to actually pay for her private costs, I used to get a monthly invoice and just call with her credit card details. Because I have a medically diagnosed tremor I cannot key these details in via mobile phone keypad so I now have to post a cheque which entails a trip to my bank to transfer money and the cost of postage, all at extra expense to myself. This has been explained to yourselves, but nothing has been done about it?

Mum has enjoyed very good care since arriving in September 2022. For the first three months, she was able to join in with activities and was encouraged to do so. Since breaking her wrist and a subsequent decline in her health, Mum has been bedridden (December 22). She gets good care from all staff and excellent from certain members of staff. Refering for treatment can be a slow process, but I feel that this is the surgery/NHS and not within the care home itself. Thanks.
Thank you for your review of Caton House; the team are proud to provide such good care and will be pleased with your high ratings.
I thoroughly enjoyed my respite stay at Caton House. To be honest, I cannot fault it - it was perfect! All members of staff gave excellent service, above and beyond the call of duty. They made me feel special and safe. Everyone was kind and professional, always acting as if nothing was too much...
I thoroughly enjoyed my respite stay at Caton House. To be honest, I cannot fault it - it was perfect! All members of staff gave excellent service, above and beyond the call of duty. They made me feel special and safe. Everyone was kind and professional, always acting as if nothing was too much trouble. It gave my daughter and her family a proper break from the responsibility of caring for me 24/7. She knew I was being looked after in a safe, controlled and caring environment. I was happy knowing she was having a break. I soon settled in my lovely room. It was everything I could ask for, especially with a large window looking onto a little garden with a bird feeder and bird bath. The food was outstanding! I looked forward to every meal and enjoyed dining with other residents. Each day I was encouraged to partake in activities which were led by kind, fun and caring staff. In my opinion, it was money well spent and I am very much looking forward to going again in a few weeks time.
Thank you for your fabulous review for Caton House, the team will be delighted to read your comments and look forward to welcoming you back for another respite break soon.

My mum was only in the care home for 3 nights before she passed away, the nurses were great I could talk with them about my mum they would listen and advise, the chef went out of their way to try and encourage my mum to eat. My mum wasn’t happy that the food wasn’t always piping hot as she was used to at home but things were listened to and tried to change, the home was clean. The bad part received a call from my mum during the night on the 2nd night she was in, wanting help to get to the toilet, whoever had helped her to bed hadn’t moved the buzzer so it was reachable for her. She was quite distressed. I spoke with the nurses and was assured it wouldn’t happen again. The only other problem was having to organise things like the toilet frame as there was only one helping rail at the toilet not one on either side. Overall my mum was in a small room, it wasn’t the easiest for her to move around in with her frame.
Thank you for your review, especially written during such a difficult time. We are so sorry your experience fell short of the standards we expect and we appreciate your feedback, which we will review in detail.
My mum has been at Caton House Residential and Nursing Home for one year and has settled in very well. She is visually impaired and has dementia so has very complex needs and at times, a challenging behaviour. The staff are doing a wonderful job caring for my mum, she is always clean, dressed and...
Overall, I can highly recommend Caton House. The wonderful staff give love and care to the residents as if they are family.
Thank you for leaving such a beautiful review, the team at Caton House will be really touched to read your comments. The staff there are very special indeed and make it a wonderful home.

Obviously, care in a care home is not like being in your own home with one-to-one attention, but my mother visits every day keeping an eye on him, making sure he is being looked after and feeling loved.
If I have made requests (e.g. personal hygiene, oral or other, room maintenance etc.), they are always dealt with positively and everyone is willing to help. Caton House has just had some re-decoration and new furniture which has brightened up the corridors and living room.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, the team at Caton House will be very happy to read your comments about the care they provide.

Whenever I vist my dad I always speak to the nurses first to see if anyone anything medically has changed for my dad. They are all very knowledgeable and friendly. All the staff I have met over the years Dad has been in Caton House Residential and Nursing Home have been respectful and considerate to Dad. I believe he's being looked after with dignity and care. Caton House always seems clean and secure. The receptionist is also always friendly and helpful.

Having spent time with my dad (and time while he was asleep), and observing how staff interacted with other residents, I was impressed with the professional but kind and personal approach given to each resident. Caton House gave peace of mind to my family in my dad's final year, knowing that he was being taken care of, and cared for, by such a lovely team of people.
An excellent manager who always has time to listen to any concerns. All staff are friendly and helpful. My dad has a feeding tube so doesn't eat but the food looks good. The staff take time with residents.

My wife has lived at Caton House Residential and Nursing Home for five years and after my initial reservations regarding care homes in general, I am extremely pleased that we made the choice we did. Covid made things difficult for a while but I feel things are getting back on track.

My journey into the health and social care sector began after I earned a First-Class Honours degree in Art and Design from Loughborough University. Shortly afterwards, I made the decision to pause my creative career to care for my grandfather, an experience that revealed a deep passion for supporting others and ultimately shaped the direction of my professional life.
Since 2009, I have worked within the care sector, specialising in luxury care homes and holding roles such as Commissioning Home Manager and CQC Registered Home Manager. Being entrusted with these positions has given me a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to deliver exceptional standards of care, always placing residents at the heart of every decision. I have developed a strong appreciation for the responsibility, trust, and leadership required to create environments where people feel safe, valued, and truly supported.
My passion, dedication, and determination stem from a simple belief: everyone deserves to be treated with the same dignity and compassion I would expect for my own family. As Home Manager, I will be involved in every aspect of the home, overseeing safety, quality of care, and regulatory compliance while ensuring a consistently positive, person-centred approach.
Enriching the lives of others is my greatest joy, and my proudest achievement is being able to look back on my career and feel proud of the individuals I have helped. I believe it’s not the days in our lifetime that matter, but the lives we touch each day that are most important.

My main responsibilities are to create a relaxed, safe and happy environment for our residents to enjoy a full range of activities, either in large groups, small groups or on a 1-1 basis.
We do lots of singing and have regular entertainment, visitors from local schools join us, and we play bingo, do arts and crafts, yoga, darts and hoopla, to name a few!
We also celebrate our residents' birthdays, throwing big or small parties (whatever they prefer) for their families and friends to enjoy with them in the comfort of their homes.
I love helping our residents to enjoy their time here as much as they can and also to provide comfort when they need it.
